My only hope if for one the members here to help me to obtain a copy. My fingers are crossed.

What's the site? I'll contact them ASAP. Seriously, let me know.

halamadrid · 03-23-2009, 03:42 AM

sorry, just saw that. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

I can't believe the German IAL is going for as much as it is since a lot of people prefer the Futureshop Steelbook over it.

John Rambo got put on the german Index shortly after it was released making it illegal to sell it on an open Platform. For this reason Amazon had to pull it from their Catalog. That magical number 2000 is the number of Copies that amazon sold (so I have been told) before having to ax it.

It IS possible that someone there in customer service speaks English. If I have time I will try to place a call there this week and see what happens.

I will just say Englais? Englais por favor? Tu quero King King libra metalica?

Oh brother.. . they will think it's a prank call and hang up on me.

My only hope is that a robot answering voice will pick up the phone and say: to continue in English, press one.

My wife is already in contact with them. She speaks spanish fluently

What's the word on King Kong, Wreck? Did you wife find out anything? I was going to try and call today, but if Mrs. Wreck already has details, please share. I did sent an email to their customer service department. Waiting to hear back.

Wreck · 03-23-2009, 06:11 PM

People please use the King Kong thread

tiger_qc · 03-23-2009, 10:24 PM

Hancock and Wanted are rising up...

One day I might actually pick-up a good spare!

I bet on 300, Clone Wars, TDK (NL) & I still have to choose 1 or 2 from amazon.de, Hancock and Wanted are both OOP. (Wanted is from MediaMarkt)
Since everyone is better than me, I'm open for any suggestion.
I would never expected Wanted and Hancock to go OOP that fast!

I actually want to get some good title for trade.

I'm only looking for John Rambo and Iron Man (sealed) from Canada.
I need BIG Steels to work these out!
I might pick some bad TF1 release when I'll get bored...

ColdBluSteelBook · 03-24-2009, 12:44 AM

From Amazon.de I got Body of Lies

From Amazon.fr I got Pulp Fiction

Im done for a few weeks..these are expensive..

Nice haul, ColdBlu. I have my "feelers" out to obtain The Fountain and 49 Ladders steelbooks. But I don't expect those two to become the next ones to "soar." I'm sticking with King Kong (Argentina) and I also agree with jwbbud about Hancock. Beowulf SB might also become a hot commodity.

dandeeswish · 03-24-2009, 01:30 AM

Not that I ever would sell My Wanted German Steel, how much has it been fetching lately?

I just picked this up on ebay for $40. Can't wait to get it.
